Huṇḍaka (हुण्डक, “deformed”) refers to one of the six types of Saṃsthāna (structure karma), representing one of the various kinds of Nāma, or “physique-making (karmas)”, which in turn represents one of the eight types of Prakṛti-bandha (species bondage): one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8. What is meant by deformed (huṇḍaka) body (saṃsthāna) body-making (nāma) karma? The karmas rise of which causes the entirely unsymmetrical structure of the body accomplished are called deformed body body-making karma.
